But Tina slammed the critics, saying that the decision to have a baby was the business of herself and 31-year-old husband Paul Chase. In her column, she wrote: "People can call me a silly fat, selfish, old b**tard. I truly don't care. I'm having a baby with the man I love. And that's no-one else's business but ours."

The pair were married three years when they decided to undergo fertility treatment. Tina already has one child, a 31-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.

The star announced that she had successfully conceived in May while on This Morning, before discovering she was carrying twins.

Sadly, in June, the couple revealed they had lost one of their unborn babies.
